The board has been searching for a new superintendent since the district and former superintendent Dr. Lisa Herring parted ways in August. Dr. Danielle Battle took over as interim superintendent.

In March, the Board said it expected to have a new and permanent superintendent in office by July 1.

Tuesday’s announcement of the sole finalist will begin the formal confirmation process.
